IN PERSON: Curious about your family’s past, but unsure where to begin? This in-person course offers a practical introduction to traditional genealogy. You'll learn how to organize your research, use a research log and document sources effectively. We'll explore key records that trace human lives — vital records, census data, city directories and more — and look at ways to conduct interviews that uncover family stories not found in archives. By the end of the course, you’ll have the tools and confidence to build a well-documented family tree and write compelling, fact-based biographies of your ancestors. While the focus is on traditional research methods, the course includes a brief introduction to genetic genealogy, including the types of DNA tests available and how to choose one to support your research. (Note: Interpreting DNA results is not covered.) | Active Skill Learning.
